Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message - --------------------------------------------------------------------- I totally agree with you Neville. I have been running on a Speed Touch Home since the pilot project days. Since then I have built a 5 PC home network and it scaled up nicely. The USB overhead point is good. Ethernet is way more efficient. Datastream do not promote the SpeedTouch Home so much because they have to subsidise a bigger amount. The unit costs more than the USB version but you still pay the same Lm50 deposit.
Also, whoever was lucky enough to get the first models could get to "convert" it into a router. I guess they changed the firmware by now though.
